Time Travel: Female Cannon Fodder of the Republic of China

Ai Shutong nodded and pushed her out, "Okay, okay, I will hurry up."

The two separated at the gate of the Far East Hotel, one got in Zheng Qiulin's car and the other got in Ina's car.

Ina felt distressed when she saw Ai Shutong's wrinkled clothes in the car. She couldn't help but ask, "Why are you so embarrassed? What happened?"

Ai Shutong shook her head and refused to say more. She didn't want to recall the experiences of the past few hours.

She just wanted to move out quickly so that she could have some private space to soothe her wounded heart.

Seeing that she didn't want to say more, Ina didn't force her and just told her to stay in Lilac Garden for a while!

Two days later, seeing that nothing happened, Ai Shutong's tense nerves relaxed a little.

After breakfast, she said to Ina, "I want to buy a house and live in it myself!"

Ina looked at her strangely, "Why do you want to live alone?"

Ai Shutong seriously made an excuse: "I was scared this time. I want to hire a few bodyguards like you."

Ina nodded in agreement: "I told you to find one a long time ago, why did you insist that you feel uncomfortable with bodyguards following you around!"

"A well-trained bodyguard will only protect your safety and will never annoy the master."

"I'll help you find a few people and let Andre and the others train for a while. I guarantee that they will be able to advance and retreat in moderation."

Ai Shutong had a brilliant idea and said, "Can we find a female bodyguard?"

Ina raised her eyebrows, “It’s easy to find a maid, but I’ve never seen a female bodyguard!”

Ai Shutong nodded, "Well, let it be! Don't force it."

"I just wanted to help solve the employment problems of several women, and it is more convenient for women to go to various occasions with me."

Ina smiled and glanced at her sideways, "I didn't even know you were a feminist."

Ai Shutong also laughed, "Maybe a little! Mainly because I have encountered many tragic things happening to women, and I want to help them."

"Women nowadays are completely appendages of men. Before marriage, they are appendages of their fathers, and after marriage, they are appendages of their husbands."

"Although it has always been said that dowry is a woman's private property, before and after marriage, as long as the man wants to use it, the woman has no control over it."

"Without a man, there is no money to eat. In order to survive, women will always be men's appendages."

"Only by leaving men and not relying on them can we escape their control, become masters of our own bodies, and thus improve our social status and avoid more tragic events."

Ina looked at her words, which caused her to talk so much, and waved her hand and said: "Other women have nothing to do with me, and I don't care. As long as you are happy, do whatever you want!"

"It's not like our family is poor, and you're also a good earner. Isn't there a poet in your country who said that the money you spend will come back?!"

Ai Shutong quickly added: "Even if I spend all my money, I can still get it back."

Ina nodded, "That's what Mister Lee often said."

In the afternoon, Xia Yu packed two large bags and came to Lilac Garden.

"Miss, please see if there is anything missing and I will go back to get it."

Ai Shutong glanced at it casually and said, "We have enough stuff. No need to go back to get it. We can move back when we find a new house."

Seeing that the young lady had lost her usual liveliness these past few days and seemed to be quite troubled, Xia Yu deliberately tried to find something to talk to her about.

"If you want to move before the New Year, you have to hurry up and find a new home. In a few days, the officials will have their holidays, and it will be unsafe if the house cannot be transferred to you by then!"

After being reminded, Ai Shutong had to put away her laziness and run to call her friends to ask if they knew anyone who could sell a house.

She made two phone calls, and both said there was a house in the International Settlement that they were willing to sell to her.

Ai Shutong wanted to stay in the French Concession, mainly because it was close to school and Nishang, making it convenient for going to school and working.

Moreover, the French Concession is the safest and most upscale residential area in Shanghai, with an excellent environment.

Ina heard her working hard on the phone and directly suggested: "Look for Jessica! Her father Haas has a lot of real estate!"

Ai Shutong shook her head. "Forgive me, Ina. Jessica and I are not the same kind of people. I think she is too snobbish, so we didn't become friends."

Yina looked at Ai Shutong helplessly and sighed, "She's still a child! How can she have so many friends in the business world? They may be eating at the same table today, but they may fight for their own interests tomorrow!"

"Don't worry about whether she's a friend or not, as long as she can get things done."

Ai Shutong still shook her head, "I'll look for someone else. If I can't find anyone else, I'll look for Jessica."

After saying that, he picked up the phone again and dialed the number.

In the morning, Shen Jiaxing was dressed and about to go out when he was stopped by Shen Xingzhou who was reading a newspaper in the living room.

"Uh-huh! Mr. Shen, your mother wants to talk to you about something!"

Shen Jiaxing thought that this old man was quite funny. He actually called himself "Shen", as if his surname was not Shen!

He held back his laughter and walked up to Shen's mother with a serious face, "Mom, what's the matter?"

Mother Shen put down the glasses tied with a rope and wondered, "School is on vacation, why are you still out all day? What are you doing outside?"

Shen Xingzhou taunted, "What can you do? You're either a loser or on the way to being a loser!"

"Hmph! Prodigal son!"

The last sentence was spoken very loudly, and the effect was very obvious. Shen Jialing, who was standing by, was so scared that she immediately shrank her neck.

After Shen Jiaxing saw this, he frowned and said, "Why are you talking so loudly? It's not like I can't hear you."

He turned his head to face Shen Jialing and put on a gentle face, "Lingling, the weather is nice today, go out and play with your friends if you have nothing to do! Don't stay at home all the time."

Shen Jialing glanced at her mother cautiously, "It's okay, big brother, I'd like to stay at home."

Shen Jiaxing continued to persuade: "Mom and Dad are in good health, you don't have to accompany them all the time. It won't be too late to accompany them when they are old!"

The newspaper in Shen Xingzhou's hand suddenly hit Shen Jiaxing's head, "Unfilial son! What's wrong with Lingling staying at home with us? You are unfilial and you want to teach your sister bad things! What's your intention!"

Shen Jialing was startled and stood up nervously and said, "Dad, calm down. That's not what my brother meant."

Shen Jiaxing pulled her aside and said to Shen Xingzhou coldly, "She is only fifteen years old, at the age of youth and activeness. Will she be happy if she is always stuck at home?"

Shen Xingzhou scolded him, "Happy?! What do you mean by happy? If you only care about yourself and ignore your parents, then you are happy?"

"You are being selfish and unfilial."

Shen Jiaxing: "We are all human beings with our own thoughts. We are not your puppets."

"If we revolve around you all day and focus on your needs, then where do we put ourselves? Don't we deserve our own lives?"

Shen Xingzhou: "Don't tell me about thoughts! Thoughts can't be eaten or drunk! If you want to eat and drink, you need a body. Where did you get your body? Your mother and I gave it to you!"
